Buy Fill Dirt in Texas

Texas stretches from the humid Gulf to the dry High Plains, and that span shows up in the ground. Annual rainfall across the cities we deliver to runs from about 19 to 52 inches, while freezing days range from 5 to 67 a year. The fill dirt you order needs to suit your local conditions, and Gravel Monkey delivers it by the ton statewide.

Whether you are raising a grade or backfilling a hole, fill dirt is the structural base for your project. Gravel Monkey brings the material to your address in a dump truck, and you choose the delivery date at checkout.

Fill Dirt for Texas Jobs

Every project starts with the right product. Gravel Monkey supplies one type of fill dirt, and it handles most structural jobs across the state.

Common Fill Dirt Projects in Texas

The table below shows typical projects and what to order. Depth varies by site; measure your void and use the calculator to confirm tonnage.

Texas Climate and Soil Conditions for Fill Dirt

The statewide rainfall range of 19 to 52 inches means drainage is a concern in wetter areas. Fill dirt compacts well, but standing water on a low site can soften the base before you place the fill. In drier parts, the material may arrive with higher moisture content from the source, so plan for a settling period.

Freezing days across Texas span 5 to 67 a year. In the colder zones, the ground freezes deep enough to stop compaction work. Winter closes the ground for a stretch each year, so plan the delivery for either side of it.

Soil hydrologic groups D and C are the most common across the served cities. These soils have slow to moderate infiltration, which means a thicker base of fill dirt is often needed to keep water away from structures. Order extra depth if your site has clay or compacted native soil.

Calculating the Amount of Fill Dirt You Need

Fill dirt is sold by the ton, and the tonnage depends on the volume of the void and the material density. Measure length, width and depth of the area you want to fill, then use our fill dirt calculator to convert to tons. The calculator accounts for compaction and moisture, so you order enough for the job.

Ordering Fill Dirt from Gravel Monkey

Fill dirt is compacted and heavy, so ordering by the ton matches the load to your project. Gravel Monkey prices delivery by ZIP at checkout and dispatches a dump truck to your address for loads of 1 to 40-plus tons. Free delivery applies on qualifying orders. Use code FIRSTTIMER50 for $50 off your first order.

To place an order, pick a delivery window at checkout: morning, 7 am to 12 pm, or afternoon, 12 pm to 5 pm. The date must be at least 3 business days out. You will receive an email confirmation, then a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded. Delivery goes ahead only after you approve that second email. You or someone you nominate must be present during the window.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fill Dirt in Texas

What conditions across Texas should change what I order?

The rainfall range of 19 to 52 inches changes how much drainage you need. In wetter cities, order a thicker base of fill dirt to keep water away from structures. In drier areas, the fill may arrive with higher moisture content and will settle more after placement.

Do seasonal road restrictions in Texas affect delivery?

Freezing days range from 5 to 67 across the state, and in colder zones frost can trigger spring load restrictions on some roads. Gravel Monkey monitors conditions and will inform you of any delays to your delivery window.

What sizes of fill dirt are available?

Fill dirt is sold as a single product with no size grades. It is screened for debris and contains no organic matter. The particle size varies by source, but all the material is suitable for structural fill and compaction.

How is fill dirt measured and sold?

Fill dirt is sold by the ton, not by the cubic yard. The weight per cubic yard changes with moisture content and compaction, so the tonnage is the consistent measure. Use the fill dirt calculator to convert your volume to tons.
